Beta privacy notice

Updated 2026-08-30 · Choice International Consulting

This notice describes the current AIchoiceit beta. No account is required, but information you type can identify you. June is an AI information assistant, not a human consultant. Answers can be inaccurate or incomplete and do not establish eligibility, guarantee an outcome or create a consultant-client relationship.

Information used to answer you

You can start and complete an assessment without an account, name, email or newsletter subscription. An optional email-updates form appears after results. Its name and email fields are not sent to OpenAI or added to your immigration profile. Unsubmitted fields remain in page memory; they are cleared when you dismiss or finish that form. This does not create an account or verify your identity.

Your questions, recent messages and eligibility answers are processed through Vercel and OpenAI to respond. Cloudflare provides security checks; Upstash holds temporary network-based usage counters. Processing may occur outside Canada, and providers may retain data. Do not include names, passport or application numbers, medical details or documents.

Your conversation and eligibility profile are held in this page’s memory. Basic interview answers are collected locally; when you ask an AI question, your question, profile so far and up to eight recent messages are sent through our Vercel-hosted server to OpenAI. A completed profile is sent for the pathway summary. Depending on what you choose to share, this may include age, citizenship, location, family circumstances, education, language results, employment and immigration history. We use this information to answer questions and produce preliminary, conditional summaries.

You can edit the answers collected in your profile. “Not sure” records an unresolved answer rather than a confirmed fact. A downloaded assessment is created on your device; downloading does not email it or send it to staff. Keep the file private. Assessment delivery by email and a staff lead database are not enabled in this release.

Service providers and retention

Vercel hosts and processes website requests. OpenAI generates AI answers using our immigration reference material. The app does not save visitor conversations in a client database or upload them as knowledge-base files. Our AI requests disable saved response storage, but this is not a zero-retention guarantee: OpenAI’s default abuse-monitoring retention is up to 30 days, with exceptions, and prompt caching may retain data temporarily. See OpenAI’s data controls.

Hosting and security providers may process network addresses, browser details and operational logs under their service settings and policies. We have not confirmed one retention period covering all provider logs. Processing and storage may take place outside Canada, including in the United States, and may be subject to those jurisdictions’ laws. Do not assume Canadian-only storage or immediate deletion.

Security checks

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to help detect automated abuse. Its browser check processes browser and network signals. Our server sends the verification token to Cloudflare, not your immigration answers. This security check is separate from the AI service that processes your chat requests.

Beta usage limits

To enforce beta usage limits, we temporarily store a keyed hash of your network address and usage counters in Upstash Redis. We do not store your raw network address or immigration answers in those counters. Network counters expire after the UTC day ends (with up to a one-minute buffer), and short-term counters expire after about one minute. People sharing a network may share a limit. These are pseudonymous security records, not a client profile database.

Optional email subscription

Marketing permission is a separate, unchecked option, not a condition of AI chat access. If selected, your name, email address and initial consent record (wording, version, timestamp and website source) are processed through Vercel and Brevo. Brevo sends a confirmation email and manages confirmed subscribers. We do not send your chat or eligibility answers to Brevo. An accepted signup request is not proof of email delivery or confirmation.

Brevo holds subscription records and email activity under its service settings; these do not expire with the chat session. We retain subscription and consent records to administer your preferences and demonstrate consent, and may retain suppression records to honour unsubscribe requests. A fixed business retention schedule and provider log settings still require review. Processing may occur outside Canada. See Brevo’s privacy policy.

Use the unsubscribe link in marketing emails or contact info@choiceit.ca to withdraw marketing permission. Ending or clearing the AI chat does not unsubscribe you. This form does not update or automatically resubscribe existing Brevo contacts; please contact us if you previously subscribed or unsubscribed and need help.

Cloudflare checks subscription requests for automated abuse. Upstash holds separate keyed hashes of email and network addresses with counters, not plain-text addresses or names. These signup counters expire within 24 hours of their window starting. Limits are three requests per network per hour, three per email per 24 hours and 100 site-wide per 24 hours. A failed request may consume an allowance.

Please do not enter sensitive documents

Do not submit passport numbers, financial-account details, medical records, application numbers, passwords or uploaded documents through the preliminary screening tool.

Your choice and clearing the chat

The chat consent box starts unchecked. You can read the site and contact us without using the AI chat. After agreeing, choose “Start Free Assessment” to open the chat and load its Cloudflare security widget. Visiting the site still requires hosting and network processing; selecting email updates loads a separate subscription security check. Chat consent is kept only for the current page session, not in a visitor account or permanent consent register. Reloading requires consent again.

Use “End chat, clear this session and return to welcome” to remove the conversation and profile from the page, withdraw chat consent and stop future chat submissions. This does not undo processing already completed or delete provider logs. If a request is in progress, wait for it to finish before using this control.

Consultations and privacy enquiries

Contact Choice International Consulting at info@choiceit.ca to request a consultation or ask about privacy, access, correction, deletion or withdrawal of consent. Please initially describe your request without sending identity documents. We may need information to identify the relevant record; we cannot promise to locate a chat that the app has not saved.

The consultation button opens your email app with a general subject only. It does not send email automatically or attach your transcript or profile. Email you choose to send is a separate communication handled by the business and email providers; the chat’s short-lived counter expiry does not apply to email. Ask us about secure document transfer before sharing sensitive material. An enquiry is not a confirmed appointment or agreement for representation.

Beta review

This is a beta notice, not a certification of privacy-law compliance. Provider log settings, email retention and the complete business privacy policy still require review before wider launch. Contact us if you need clarification before choosing to use this service.
